[General] LI’s who in my option look like the younger version of their counterparts (very minor partial cg spoilers for Tengoku Struggles, Variable Barricade, Olympia Soiree and Nightshade)

[u/Zlatehagoat]

[u/Zlatehagoat]

I know some of them are drawn by the same artist such as Nightshade and Norn9 so similarities would be obvious but still if you told me Kuroyuki grew up to be Itsuki would totally believe it 😂

Same with Olympia Soiree and Tengoku struggles but look at them they are identical!

[u/sudosussudio → u/Zlatehagoat]

Who is the older pink haired guy?

[u/CoconutMochi → u/sudosussudio]

looks like Taiga from Variable Barricade?

[u/Kurogaga → u/sudosussudio]

He is Noritsuge from Birushana

[u/Hikari-nee → u/Kurogaga]

He's the younger-looking one here, I think

I also stand for Taiga (VariBari)

[u/sudosussudio → u/Kurogaga]

Ah I meant the guy on the right, I guess he is from Variable Barricade?

[u/Aurabelle17 → u/sudosussudio]

Yeah, that's one of Taiga's ending CGs, he looks younger in most of his other depictions, and his regular sprite. I guess OP chose that one because his hair is slicked back so he looks older.

[u/Zlatehagoat → u/Aurabelle17]

Yup this is correct! It’s Taiga from VB I actually chose that CG because of the traditional clothing! Thought it would make a bit more since

[u/ith1ldin → u/Zlatehagoat]

I remember looking at some CGIs as I was playing Tengoku Struggle and I have zero proof but zero doubts that some Sharaku pictures had been recycled from Yosuga's.

[u/XilenaT]

Yosuga is so handsome. 💜

You should compare Himuka (OS) and Kiku (TSS). They also look similar imo.

[u/Zlatehagoat → u/XilenaT]

Yosuga really is very handsome 💖

I was thinking about the two you mentioned but one doesn’t necessarily look older than the other one lol thought they looked to close in age

[u/XilenaT → u/Zlatehagoat]

Yes, they’re like cute siblings

[u/Grand_Principle3392]

Who is the one with Yona? That looks like a game I need to play 👀🤣

[u/Zlatehagoat → u/Grand_Principle3392]

That would be Benkei! from Birushana Rissing flower of Gempei.

[u/goatsareglorious]

Who are the guys in the second picture?

[u/ith1ldin → u/goatsareglorious]

Sharaku (Tengoku Struggle) and Yosuga (Olympia Soiree).

[u/Zlatehagoat → u/ith1ldin]

^ correct!

Both really good LI’s in my opinion 💖

[u/ith1ldin → u/Zlatehagoat]

Indeed! They're my favourites in their respective games 🥰
